Selecting desired frequency
1. Turning Dial
Under VFO mode, rotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps established for the current operating
band. Clockwise rotation will increase the operating frequency while counter-clockwise rotation will lower it.
On the Main band frequency, short press the DIAL knob then rotate it, to change the Main band frequency steps to 1
MHz step. This feature is useful for making rapid frequency excursions over the wide tuning range of the TH-7800.
